• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    USB charge cable for heli bars. Has anyone even seen a cable like this?

    Haven't checked for that specific length but I know Amazon has longer cables. I do know they make a Garmin cable 11.5 ft so I would think standard USB would be available. After reading I wasn't totally clear. What I was trying to say was that all different sizes seem to be available.:gaah:

    How long to do Skyline and Blue Ridge from Front Royal to Roanoke?

    True. And some of the roads on and off the BRP are worth a shout. Such as 256, 215, 43, 80. In fact most of them are interesting.

    How long to do Skyline and Blue Ridge from Front Royal to Roanoke?

    Yep, Skyline is Federal. BRP is free. If are old enough the Golden Passport,( not sure what they call it now) is one time fee and good for all national parks. I have saved a fortune.

    What parameters are changed when riding 2 up?

    Hadn't thought about changes to the bike based on 1 or 2 riders. There definitely is added input from the rear seat when I am riding 2 up. Sometimes a well phrased input or even occasionally a "tap" on the helmet. :roflblack::lecturef_smilie:

    Stuck front pulley - how can I get it off the shaft?

    You're right about the can, Mike. In fact I still have one on a shelf somewhere. Spray just works better in hard to reach spots.

    OK youngster, here's an early happy birthday. A lot of old age is attitude and the rest is good genes. Just keep trucking.!!

    Too old? Trying to be realiistic.

    We all age out differently. I am one of the lucky ones Like RICZ. I am 85 and still ride 2 wheels. But my arthritis doesn't like long rides with a clutch and my wife feels better on 3 wheels so I acquired a 2015 RT last fall. I got to ride a whole 100 miles before storing it!!:( Come spring...

    Your thoughts on using the hitch as a tie down??

    If the hitch isn't a safe tie down point, it sure isn't safe for pulling a trailer.!!

    Want to set up mechanical handbrake on 2020 RT LTD for an amputee Vet

    If I remember correctly, ( and that doesn't always happen ) somewhere in my forum travels, I saw mention of someone who had added linkage from foot brake to a supplemental pedal on the left side. I am not that familiar with the structure underneath ( just purchased bike and am not near it right...

    Who is a former Goldwing rider?

    Spyder RT Rentals - Where?

    I tend to agree with the above. Prior to my purchase about a week and a half ago, I had never even started a Spyder. I rode it around the dealers lot a couple times and then headed home. After about 6 miles I got on the Interstate and got up to speed and stayed there for 60 miles. I was cautious...

    What do you do when you have a flat tire on a ride?

    Me ,too. I acquired a small Slime compressor and a "rope" kit. Don't leave home without them. Hopefully,I will never need them but someone else may and it will be handy.Makes me just a bit more comfortable knowing they are in a bag!!
